The Cogitable Vegetables

from Cool Circus by Rudy Charisma

lyrics

the cogitable vegetables talk to me
they are smarter than i am
they say, gee i love yer pessary
and i don't know they're making fun of me

they say, you're gonna wait until tomorrow
they say, you're gonna live until today
you're gonna make a sandwich
you're gonna take your vitamins
you're gonna do whatever we say

the cogitable vegetables talk to me
the cogitable vegetables read the dictionary
they say i'm feculant
i say i'm fecund
they say you're wrong
i ask why
they say reductio ad absurdum

the cogitable vegetables know latin
well, i know some latin
i know pliny the elder
but not personally

i try to argue
but i dropped out of logic class 3 times
i took math 113 instead, then failed
and finally got a D

the cogitable vegetables don't think much of me
they are perspicacious, they say i'm salacious
i say what the hell do you mean

they say it is our onus
to follow you
to improve you
wherever you go
and it's hard
your head is so saltatory
your thoughts are so nugatory

i say salami
i say peppers
i say feet
they say, what?
